I was just curious because you always see the other characters being interviewed and no one mentions poor Gimli. Thanx for responding so quickly.

John Rhys Davis is a great actor. Haven't seen him in many parts, though. (I recall he was in Sliders)

I think the reason that he is not really interviewed all that much is becasue in the movie he's not really a super important character.

Neither is Legolas, who is arguably less important. Oh wait... the movies. Nevermind.

I was in an interview-chat on a sci-fi website with him (got to ask him a question or two, actually-I'll try to find the website later) and if I recall, he said that when FOTR came out, an ex-girlfriend sent him a rather joint-lacking Gimli action figure with a note that said 'it's just like your acting - it only bends at the knees' or something odd like that.
Strange people... -ah, I found the website. http://www.scifi.com/transcripts/200...vies_chat.html (I was IthildinMithril) and a gollum one i also participated in: http://www.scifi.com/transcripts/2003/aserkis1.31.html (I was OMGGollumisSOsexy haha)
